Five police officers spend Tuesday January 4 in disciplinary council in Paris and Bordeaux, eight months to the day after the feminicide of Mérignac, Franceinfo learned from a source close to the file. On May 4, 2021, Chahinez Daoud was burned alive in the middle of the street by her husband, from whom she was separating, even though she had lodged a complaint for violence a month and a half earlier. Her husband had already been convicted of domestic violence.
Two commissioners, including the departmental director of public security in Gironde, and two commanders will explain themselves to the disciplinary council in Paris. A brigadier is also summoned, but this time in Bordeaux. Everyone must explain the many dysfunctions in this affair. “Our fellow investigator cannot take responsibility for the horrible murder that was committed on Chahinez alone”Alliance regional secretary Eric Marrocq said of the brigadier.
The inspection mission carried out after the murder of Chahinez Daoud recommends that justice and the police services better share their information in cases of domestic violence, which was clearly lacking in the weeks preceding this feminicide, according to the same. mission. Indeed, theThe complaint lodged by Chahinez Daoud was poorly received and the investigative acts are insufficient, regrets Julien Plouton, the lawyer for relatives of the young woman. “What is unacceptable is that she was left alone despite her multiple appeals for help in the face of her attacker.” In July, the Bordeaux prosecutor’s office confirmed that the police officer who took up Chahinez’s complaint had just been sentenced to eight months in prison for domestic violence.
“The failures do not only concern the police “, judge David Le Bars, who will sit on the disciplinary council as general secretary of the union of commissioners. “The national police institution is doing its job, its duty of transparency, where, undoubtedly, different links in the criminal chain and in particular on the justice side, will perhaps also have to look at what could have gone wrong so that such a tragedy does not. not happen again. ”
